Frank Ceravalo

When the Shenandoah Valley experienced a 30 inch snowfall in February, 1983, Frank Ceravalo wished he could record the snow event's epic beauty, but couldn't. He did not have a camera to his name! Soon afterward, Ceravalo remedied the lack by purchasing a used 35mm camera. His early landscapes began to coalesce, from lens, to darkroom, to framed works. In thedecades since, Ceravalo's technique and equipment has improved, but his focus has held steady.

Largely self-taught, his education gleaned from reading photography literature, analyzing the work and techniques of top photographers, experimenting on his own in the field and in the darkroom, and to all these adding taking adult education courses and industry seminars, Frank Ceravalo has become a master.

Visitors to the Frank Ceravalo exhibit will feast their eyes on landscapes and floral subjects mostly of Virginia, West Virginia, and Western Maryland. Not tied to home, he also captures evocative scenes from Yellowstone to Alaska and from far distant Europe to Japan! Ceravalo's work, using digital high dynamic range processing and panoramic image splicing creates images that tell a story and reflect his vision of landscape and botanical realism.
